Long thought how to present our toy project made on the "knee" and for a couple of evenings, a kind of just-for-fun for the evening.
Preamble. At some point, personally, I was tired of posting my photos on common social networks, and the thought came to my mind, what if I made a simple Instagram-Wordpress-Gallery2 for personal use. This “fatal flaw” led to the birth of
Imagenary - it is completely free, with open source - a photo album that can be easily used for blogging and socialization. A photo album with an open API and an existing working mobile client under Windows Phone 7 & 8.
The main idea is that our small project went with her, which I would like to present to you.

The main idea was to make a simple blog that you could pick yourself up, install on your hosting and use a mobile client to post your photos. It is possible, to finish something for yourself, for example, to make on the basis of a family photo album, where only family members would have access. Or even make your own small social network of tourist individuals.
In general, there are no restrictions, a start has been made, take it, use it and support our code with your pull-request requests, we will only be happy.
Of course it is better to see 1 time than 100 times to read it on Habré.
Because I will immediately give a reference on the example of my blog installation:
http://imonno.ruThis, so to speak, is our test site, where we test the web application itself and mobile clients.
Some images for those who do not follow the links or in case the DigitalOcean account fails to sustain the habra effect:


and already opened image (among the work week).
Ready-to-use mobile client can be installed here
only Windows Phone 7 & 8Thanks to Alexander
github.com/AlexandrYZ for him.
Why WP? Everything is simple, I myself am a user of this mobile platform, and it was done primarily for myself. It looks beautiful in my opinion and something like this:




If you look closely, you can see that once the installed mobile client can be used for different domains, this is a nice feature.
We also have a very simple and open API, which I tried to describe here
imonno.ru/about/api (REST + JSON is nothing complicated) and in general, we are open to any changes, requests and criticism.
There is still a little damp, but almost working mobile client for iOS -
github.com/ufacode/imagenary.ios thanks for the code, Ildar can be sent to
github.com/iyulan and here we would not be prevented by the help of the community, namely a person who could bring code to function.
And in the name of open source it is worth talking about technologies:
1. The web application is written in Ruby on Rails 4, I don’t cut Turbolinks, I like it, a bit covered with RSpec + Capybara tests, MySQL’s default database, but there’s no problem changing to Postgres or SQLite, all very simple queries via ActiveRecord.
Frontend is written using a slightly tweaked Twitter Bootstrap, CoffeeScript, a little Backbone (I only took Routing) and Masonry.js for beautiful a-la Pinterest alignment.
github.com/ufacode/imagenary2. Client for Windows Phone 7 & 8 is written in C # and .NET
github.com/ufacode/imagenary.wp3. The client for iOS is written in Objective C
github.com/ufacode/imagenary.iosIn general, we will welcome any ideas, suggestions,
women , money and feasible assistance for the development of this simple thing.
First of all, of course, we need help with the iOS client and who would be able to take on the Android version of the client.
And of course, if you have any business proposals, we are always ready to listen and work together.
Thank you all, I will try to answer your questions or discuss any suggestions or comments.
